Myself and my husband stayed in the Tranquility Villa, villa D from 28 December to 2 January. From the moment we were picked up by their personal driver, to the moment we checked out, we were treated like royalty. The staff were fantastic.The villa was amazing. Plenty of space, decorated beautifully and a swimming pool you won't want to get out of.Upon check in, we filled in breakfast form and a time when we wanted it. A member of staff would come to your villa and prepare your breakfast and serve it on the outdoor setting. Breakfast was plentiful and kept us going until lunch. We ordered in a few nights due to bad weather and security would see the delivery to your villa.Upon returning from a day out, your villa is cleaned, leaves swept, pool maintained and beds turned down. The little things like flowers on your kitchen bench, chocolates on your pillow, actually made the holiday that much better.The villa has everything you need, check all the drawers, you will soon see that for yourself!

It is approx 5 mins to walk to the main road of Sanur and a further 15 mins walk to Hardys. All the time, safe.

We will definitely return to these villas. We have been spoilt now.

Say hi to Chelsea, Security's little dog when you get there.

Wonderful villa, fantastic staff (even gave us a cake on my wife's birthday...thank you). Great pool (Harmony villa). Would highly recommend and we will book again shortly for this years holiday. Walk to main street was OK and no problems, even during a down pour (kids loved splashing through puddles). Note that bedrooms in this villa are not interconnected but others in the complex are.

Stayed in Peace villa for 6 nights. We asked for large pool as we love swimming and it was our wedding anniversary. We were given the smallest pool which was disappointing. The bed in this villa is rock hard. Breakfast is very average for the price. The only thing to choose if you are hungry in the morning is the pancakes. Long walk to the Main Street. Staff were lovelyTurndown at night is just that, no replacing of towels or topping up tea and coffee.First hotel I have ever stayed in Bali where they did not acknowledge a special occasionNot likely to stay here again

Dear Carolyn W. Thank you so much for taking the time to let us and others know of your experience with us. Our differing villa categories all have different sized pools. You booked and paid for a Peace Villa, which has a plunge pool. We were fully booked at the time of your stay, so your requested free upgrade was not able to be accommodated. I am sorry you feel we did not acknowledge your special occasion. In our experience, honeymoon and anniversary couples enjoy quiet and undisturbed time together – I’m not really sure what your expectations were but we would have been delighted to have arranged something special for you on request. Your stay included a Continental Breakfast – our offering far exceeds this and we’re sorry you found it disappointing. Thank you for the feedback about the mattress. That villa is earmarked for new mattresses very soon. Again, thank you for your review.

We loved it here, it was so peaceful and serene. We stayed in a tranquility villa and although the pool was not massive it was very private and you could get about 12 strokes per length. The jacuzzi was lovely and the bale with fan under the roof was a lovely touch for on hot days. The two bedroomed apartment was nice with only one negative really. The gaps in the exterior doors are quite large so you do get plenty of bugs in. Luckily it's wide enough for lizards too so we appreciated the gecko visits as there were lots of Mosquitos inside and out. It's obviously an issue as the zen villas supply the rooms with insect repellant coils and tablets but they don't seem to work very well. As nice as the outside bathroom was we decided not to use it as even through the day the Mosquitos tended to hang around in there. Our whole family got scores of mosquito bites each despite being covered in repellant but that was the only negative about the place. The staff were all fantastic! They were the most unobtrusive and considerate staff ever - all of which smile constantly. The breakfasts were a real luxury, it was so nice to be able to choose and book your time slot then to be served it next your your pool after a morning dip. The little touches like the turn down service where they add little biscuit parcels on your pillow every evening was nice too. We would highly recommend zen villas if for a peaceful and tranquil stay.

Dear YvieLeeds_. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review of your stay at The Zen Villas in August 2013. We’re very happy to hear that you found “total tranquility”, and that your thought our team was “the most unobtrusive and considerate staff ever”! You will be pleased to hear that since your stay 6 months ago, we finally secured permission and have proceeded to remove the bamboo plantation in our neighbour’s yard – which posed a health risk to locals and tourists. We’ve noted a huge improvement in the moquito population (although the geckos are looking thin). Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you back to The Zen Villas in the future.

Our visit did not start off well; the plane was delayed and we arrived hours late at Denpasar airport, tired and uncomfortable - well past midnight. From then on - things just got better and better!Our pre-booked driver was still waiting paitiently for us. When he turned off the Sanur bypass into what looked like a rutted back alley, we wondered if he was lost (of course he wasn't) and ariving at the Villas was like dropping in on another planet - everything was handled by the security guards - the office being closed it now being 1:30 am, but we were swiftly moved, baggage as well into our amazing villa. Prepared and lit for us with the air conditioning on, welcoming drinks in the fridge it was like heaven.Ours was the 'Harmony Villa' - two bedrooms, two bathrooms, three toilets, four showers, a pool and spa, two TVs with sixty satellite channels and DVD players, a fully equipped kitchen and lovely decor.One room had a private walled outdoor retreat, with bath, seating area, fish pond, fountain and indoor and outdoor showers, the other room had an en-suite with a glass door from the shower to a small outdoor courtyard with another shower.The kitchen had a convection microwave oven, fridge/freezer, hot and chilled drinking water, toaster and sandwich toaster as well as all the pots and pans and dishes you could wish for.Both beds were king sized and very comfortable, there were also two safes for valuables.Breakfast was brought in each morning by one or two smiling happy ladies - we chose the fruit and pastries most days. The selection was always different each morning and beautifully prepared. We never managed to eat it all and it kept us going until lunch.All the staff were friendly and helpful - gardeners and maintenance men, the villa was cleaned very thoroughly every day and was in excellent repair.The Villa is not near the beach, but the walk is only about 400m and although the lane is narrow and in places a bit potholed, the locals are friendly and keep it clean daily and even after dark we never felt unsafe walking (torches are provided and are useful to avoid puddles after dark despite the street lights).There are dozens of places to eat and most deliver to your door if you don't feel like being energetic. We can recommend 'Downtown' about halfway to Hardy's the department store, where you can get almost everything at fixed prices.Sanur is nothing like as frantic as Kuta, nuch nicer and frendlier and the beachfront walk and beach is lovely.Hiring a car and driver is the ONLY way to see the island properly - back roads, real villages away from the tourist routes - wonderful. Adi at reception can arrange this for you - Teja our driver was very good, very safe and knowledgable.I heartily recommend this place, the staff are all lovely, friendly and cheerful. Nothing is too much bother and if you need to unwind and relax - this is the perfect spot in lovely private luxury surroundings.

We had an amazing stay at the Zen Villas, Sanur. The villas were spacious and clean. the staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts had a huge variety and great portions (we were always full after). The pool was massive and the gardens were beautifully maintained. Very peaceful also. Would definitely stay there again and would recommend to family and friends. The only thing we can suggest is perhaps offering bikes to ride from the villas to the main strip where restaurants and shopping is located. The walk was a little long for hot sunny days.

We stayed at the Zen Villas for a few nights prior to heading elsewhere for a wedding but wished we had longer!From initial enquiry through to check-out NOTHING was too much trouble for the staff at Zen Villas. Sri Martini in particular was outstanding.

We were a little apprehensive about the location having read that it was located a while from town but taxi's were organised with no trouble and took no more than 2 minutes to arrive. We personally loved the location of the villa’s as it felt like a sanctuary away from the craziness of the streets.

Would have absolutely NO hesitation in recommending this property to anyone!
